well now im just frustrated not only is it hard to find a barrel out here southern california ( san fernando valley ). but nobody will ship me those barrel stove kits because of " CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS LAWS ". i tried us stove company and their distributors which make a cheaper ( price ) kit but they all of a sudden ran out of kits and wont get any in until sept. so can any on suggest an alternate way of connecting the 2 barrels ( no welding ) or any other solution for me? thanks alot

Personally, I would'nt waste my time with a double drum smoker, (I built a beautiful one of Stainless drums) just do a UDS, way more efficient, but thats just my opinion.

ignored her for a couple hours, still rock steady 225* been all this time on half a chimney full of kingsford blue..just dropped a couple maple scraps in to make the yard smell better..I give it 20 minutes before a neighbor drops by..

i had to make sure the thing worked before i painted it! i was thinking either cow spots or camo. i'm in no rush for that though, as long as it keeps producing tasty q i could paint it brown with corn chunks!!

I can get more Gate Valves for free, I've scrounged the town pretty good for short throw ball valves, looks like any more I'm going to have to pay for, salvage price or new price and the two keep getting closer to each other. Seems now that people know I really want them and I'm searching high and low, suddenly there is a price attached. (I should have flown a little lower to get below the radar small town and all that.)

The plan is for 5 drums over the next 8 months. The first is going to be a totally basic. Then I'll start building in the "I wants to have"
